Marathon Finish

Running Accomplishments:

 I started running last year, my first race was December 2008. It was my first 5k. In the past year I have done 5k's, a 5 miler, 10k, 10 miler and my first half marathon. I started running so I could keep off the weight I had lost (70 pounds). And in running, I have found solace, peace, and friendships.

Short-Term Running Goals:

 My goals for 2010 are:

*2150 total miles

*finish a walking/jogging marathon

*a 2 hour half marathon

Long-Term Running Goals:

  I want to take each year as it comes.

2009 goal was just to run. I did make the goal of 2000 miles. It was my first year running. I will update my total on the 31st of January.

 

Personal:

 This past year has been frought with difficulty, trials, and stress. But it has also been a blessing. I learned what I can do, what my body can do, and how to make myself what I want to be.

My three kids have been a wonderful inspiration, and my husband, not matter how we fuss, fit or fight, is ultimately my best friend.

Did my morning run....trying to push my hour run to 7.5 miles, not 7.27. the faster that I go, for a longer time, the better over all run time. 

I decided to go to Indianapolis next year in November for the Monument Marathon and half marathon. I am going to run the half marathon. As much as I want to run a marathon, I want to get a few half marathons under my belt first. I am doing a walking/running marathon in April with DH. The slow starters of this marathon start early and the minimum time is 4 hours. We want to do it together, and kinda see what a full marathon feels like.  Goals, goals and more goals!

Found a way to increase my morning mileage.  Start my warm up at 7.0 mph instead of 6.5. That gains me a few more strides before my run starts. The difference in speed in the warm up didn't seem to effect me. It did allow me to go as high as 8.0 mph for a bit, and even 7.7mph didn't feel like exhertion.  Felt good.

I opted against the second run yesterday. I had a bunch of things to get done. I am glad I didn't do it. but today, it's on like donkey kong!

got really dizzy on my run, so i stopped. light headed. I haven't eatten much today, maybe that's it. coffee, toast, and oatmeal. maybe i need to eat something.

Focused and clear headed, I know what i have to do.  I am ready to deal with my mistakes and focus on the future. Nothing is impossable, and as focused as I am, I know I can do it.
